We the living

Every year I buy all mine last minute. I hate doing it. Thanks to my extraordinary lack of imagination I always end up spending much more than I can afford. To make up for the lack of imagination, that is. I really don't mind the spending part, but then you sit there around the christmas tree, pretty excited anyway about your family members reactions, and there is always disappointment. Either because they just throw their presents on the pile after a stale 'aw, thank you', or becasue they give you a shitty present back. Esp when you get shitty presents back. Although if anyone in my family reads this, I should point out that of course they only give me lovely presents.

This year will be different though. This year I have already written my list of 'who get's what', and it's only cheap and (relatively) imaginative presents that are sure to be a success (they better damn will be). Also, this year I have decided to order most of them online. London Christmas shopping is a bloody expensive nightmare. Ebay and Amazon is the shit.
